Master Sounds 98.3 is a rare groove radio station in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, hosted by Johnny "The Love Giant" Parkinson (voiced by Ricky Harris). The songs that played on this station are sampled by many hip-hop artists. This is the one of the stations that the Los Santos Vagos listen to. This is also Wu Zi Mu's favorite station, as well as Eddie Pulaski's favorite station.
Since the station contains rare vinyl records of songs, mostly instrumental singles, which have been heavily sampled by hip-hop artists over the years, The Love Giant criticizes hip-hop artists for doing so.
